I love the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I adore fashion and models and runway shows and this annual extravaganza combines them all in a wonderful, entertaining way featuring killer lingerie and live musical performances.

What’s not to love?

So enjoy some fantastical and beautiful costumes and models truly enjoying their jobs!

These are some of my favorite Victoria’s Secret Angels – I always look forward to seeing the fabulous Brazilian contingent – Alessandra, Adriana, and Izabel – As well as the super sweet Lily, Lindsay, Candice, and Behati. And of course, one of my all time favorite models, the statuesque and fabulous Karlie Kloss.

The runways were filled with sheer hemlines last season but sometimes it’s hard to see how these beautiful trends can be translated to the street. Wonder no longer! The Sartorialist – If You’re Thinking About…… Sheer Hems.

What better way to celebrate the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show than by enjoying the backstage, behind the scene, and candid shots captured and shared on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest this year?

I covered the show last year {Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show} and I’m covering it again this year – Why, do you ask? Well as much as I adore fashion, runway shows, and Fashion Month, there’s something wholly unique about the VSFS – It’s fun, playful, outrageous, and always features some of my favorite models.

There were some very lucky fashion bloggers at this event, in addition to Derek Blasberg and Bryan Boy – pictured above – Julie Sarinana of Los Angeles based Sincerely Jules, Chiara Ferragni from the Italian fashion blog The Blonde Salad, and Chriselle Lim of The Chriselle Factor, also based in Los Angeles, were all lucky enough to attend the show. Read about their experiences here:

Northern California is all about layering during the Fall – The mornings may start off foggy with a chill in the air only to end up in the mid seventies with the sun beating down on you by lunchtime. Since moving to San Francisco I’ve become something of a self-taught layering expert.

This ended up being the perfect amount of layers, I could easily unzip the moto jacket to get some air, and take it off completely when it got too warm. We spent the day wandering around Sonoma Square and enjoying wine tastings, window shopping, and a tasty lunch at The Girl And The Fig.

Do you like to wear multiple lighter-weight layers when the weather starts to get colder in the Fall/Winter? Or do you prefer to wear thicker outerwear during the chillier seasons?
